High-Volume Screening Across Major Nitro and Nitrate Explosive Classes
Nitro-Screen is a portable bulk-screening kit for organizations that need to screen a large number of collected samples for nitroaromatics, nitrate esters, nitramines and inorganic nitrates. The standard NSK-01 configuration provides materials for up to 140 tests using visible color responses and supplied reference colors.
The kit is designed for checkpoint operations, military and law-enforcement screening, mining and blasting environments, field investigations, and site-assessment programs where electronic instrumentation may be impractical.
NSK-01
Nitro and Nitrate Explosive Classes
Materials for up to 140 samples covering major nitroaromatic, nitrate-ester, nitramine and inorganic-nitrate classes.
NSK-01PLUS
Explosives & Selected Precursors
Adds dedicated screening components for urea nitrate, chlorates or bromates, and peroxides to the 140-test explosive-screening configuration.
NSK-01S
Enhanced Precursor Screening
Adds five each of the Verifier, Gel-Ox and Acid Test detectors for selected flammables, oxidizers, gels and strong acids.
Explosive Classes Screened by NSK-01
Nitroaromatics
TNT, tetryl and related aromatic explosive materials.
Nitrate Esters
Nitroglycerin, PETN and related nitrate-ester materials.
Nitramines
RDX, HMX and related nitramine explosive materials.
Inorganic Nitrates
Ammonium, potassium, sodium and other applicable nitrate salts.
Designed for Repeated Field Screening
- Materials for up to 140 standard screening tests
- Visible colorimetric response without an electronic reader
- Sample-collection and preparation materials supplied
- Full-color operating instructions and reference colors
- Compact format for checkpoints, vehicles and field teams
Typical Operating Environments
- Airport, border, port and transportation checkpoints

Plan a High-Volume Screening Configuration
Share the target explosive classes, screening location, estimated sample volume and any precursor requirements. ChemSee can determine whether standard, PLUS or Enhanced Nitro-Screen is the appropriate configuration.
